How we're normalizing mental health

Seems as if this decade mental health has been a major topic for certain individuals if not all of us. I do hope we can grow to a point where seeing a psychiatrist is the same as being seen as a normal check up from your primary. We need to get rid of this idea that seeking psychiatrist advice doesn't make you any lesser for struggling with mental stability. We should support those asking for extra help regardless of if you think you need it or not or out to judge a person's psychosis.

I agree wholeheartedly. Access to mental health facilities is extremely lacking in many communities and I would love to see government subsidies for individuals to become mental health professionals. 

As for the stigma regarding seeking mental health help, I think huge progress has been made recently, especially with celebrities being upfront about their struggles. The more people talk about it, the more people will realize they're not alone.
